Summary
All actors are always looking for a competitive edge. Opportunities are everywhere, and Casting Workshops offer a fantastic chance for you to showcase your talents and make meaningful connections along with a lasting impression...if you know how to navigate them!
Talk to any casting director and they'll tell you they would love to hire the first person that comes through the door. They'll also tell you that any actor that makes their job easier by being prepared, professional, memorable, and hireable become their go-to's again and again when casting for TV, films or digital content.
You can be that actor. And learning how to navigate Casting Director Workshops can start you on that path.
Casting Director Workshops are a great way to not only learn your craft, but to make a lasting impression. And there's nobody better to teach you how to make that happen than actress, producer, screenwriter, acclaimed international entertainment industry speaker, author, and career coach, Jessica Sitomer.
This webinar is not about performing, sending a thank you note, and hoping against hope that you'll hear from the casting director down the road. This webinar is designed to make you stand out in a crowded room and make an impression no one can ignore.
Jessica will teach you how to approach each workshop so your performance is on point. She'll help take away the jitters and anxiety that come with preparing and performing for an audition and/or workshop. She will show you how to brand yourself and adjust that brand for the specific CD in the room. She show you how to communicate and not annoy a casting director, as so many do, but to make him or her feel as if you're a part of their team. She will teach you a unique follow-up strategy and her "Casting Director Attractor, relationship building strategy. You will leave this webinar inspired, fired up, and ready to attack and conquer.
Jessica Sitomer has coached thousands of actors and creatives worldwide and is proud to see her client’s names on almost every TV show and film she sees. She’s here at Stage 32 to pass on her knowledge and experience to you, to make your acting journey a comfortable and successful ride.
